SPECIFKCATGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 686,979, dated November19, 1901.

` Application inea February 18,1901. sei-inno. 47,872. @romane To allwhom, t may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLiAM R. KLonB, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Hamilton, Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in GasBurners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to gas-burners of that class adapted to the use ofeither natural or artificial gas for heating purposes; and the objectsof my improvement are to provide means for adjusting the mixing-chamberin relation to the discharge-openings, to provide a superheating retortwhich is adjustable in relation to the mixer, to provide a plural numberof discharge-openings Within an annular mixing-chamber, and to provide aremovable basin to adapt the burner to the use of hydrocarbon. Theseobjects are attained in the following-described manner, as illustratedin the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a diametricalsection of a burner embodying my improvement; Fig. 2, a plan of Fig. 1with the retort removed, andFig. 3 a modified form of constructing thedischargeopenings.

In the drawings, 5 represents the deliverypipe, secured withingas-chamber 6 and terminating at one end through the closed bottom 7thereof in a threaded nipple 8, to which supply-pipe 9 is attached. Theother end of the delivery-pipe opens within superheatingretort 11, whichis adjustably secured over the open end of chamber G by means ofthreaded collar 12 being formed thereon. A series of elbow-nipples 13,secured in the side of the chamber at equal distances apart and near itsbottom, form discharge-openings for the gas from the said chamber to theinterior of mixer 14. Said mixer is cylindrical in form, with open ends,and encircles the chamber between the discharge-openings and the retort.Brackets 15 project from the interior and near the ends of the mixer incontact with the gaschamber,whereon it is adj ustably secured by meansof screw 16,which is threaded through the middle portion of its sideopposite the brackets. Said brackets and screw preferably are arrangedto register with the middle of the respective spaces between theelbow-nipples, as shown in Fig. 2, where they oifer the leastobstruction to the passage of the gas toward the retort.

Perforations 18 may be made, preferably at an upward and outward angle,through the wall of the gas-chamber, as shown in Fig. 3, as a substitutefor the elbow-nipples, with the advantage that they are more easilycleaned when they become clogged.

Basin 19 may be removably secured on nipple 8 against the bottom of thegas-chamber for generating suficient gas to start the burner when ahydrocarbon is used.

In operation the gas is discharged by the delivery-pipe within theretort, where it is superheated and escapes through the gas-chamber andthe discharge-openings therein to the interior of the mixing-chamber,Where it commingles with atmospheric air and feeds the iiame ignited atthe annular opening or throat between the top of the mixer and theretort. The mixer may be adjusted more or less nearlyover thedischarge-openings to prevent the gas from igniting thereat, accordingto the respectively less or greater pressure of the gas, and the retortmay be independently adjusted on the gas-chamber to regulate the size ofthe flame opening or throat thereunder in any adjusted position of themixer.

The burner is supported under the stovehole or within the chamber to beheated by means of the supply-pipe being secured thereto in the ordinarymanner or otherwise, as may be required.

Having fully described my improvement, what I claim as my invention, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, y

. able thereon between the said openings and the retort.

2. In a gas-burner, the combination with a chamber formed with a seriesof circumferen-` tial discharge-mopenings near one end, a retort securedon the other end thereof and communicating therewith, and adelivery-pipe extended axially through the chamber and dischargingWithin the retort, of a cylindrical -mixer formed with open ends securedon the chamber concentric thereto and between the said openings and theretort, and means to adjust the mixer longitudinally on the chamber.

`3. In a gas-burner, the combination With a chamber formed withcircumferential discharge-openings near one end, a dischargepipeextending through said chamber, and a mixer formed With open endsencircling the chamber and adj ustable longitudinally thereon inrelation to the discharge-openings, of a retort adj ustably secured onthe other end of the chamber in relation to the mixer and communicatingwith the chamber and With the discharge-pipe.
